Ōkuma Shigenobu
Marquess was a Japanese politician who served as the prime minister of Japan in 1898, and from 1914 to 1916. Born in the Saga Domain, Ōkuma was appointed minister of finance soon after the Meiji Restoration of 1868, aided by his friendship with '' genrō'' Inoue Kaoru. He unified the nation's currency and created the national mint before being dismissed in 1881 after a long series of disagreements with members of the Satsuma and Chōshū cliques in the Meiji oligarchy. In 1882, Ōkuma formed the Rikken Kaishintō party and founded Waseda University. He returned to office as foreign minister in 1888, and focused on revising the unequal treaties imposed on Japan; his approach was viewed by some as too conciliatory to the Western powers, leading to an assassination attempt in 1889 and the loss of a leg. Ōkuma again returned to politics in 1896, merging the Kaishintō with several smaller nationalist parties to form the Shimpotō party in March 1896, and becoming foreign ...

Secret Society
A secret society is an organization about which the activities, events, inner functioning, or membership are concealed. The society may or may not attempt to conceal its existence. The term usually excludes covert groups, such as intelligence agencies or guerrilla warfare insurgencies, that hide their activities and memberships but maintain a public presence. Secret societies may be community-based or associated with colleges and universities. These societies exist in countries around the world. Definitions The exact qualifications for labeling a group a secret society are disputed, but definitions generally rely on the degree to which the organization insists on secrecy and might involve the retention and transmission of secret knowledge, the denial of membership or knowledge of the group, the creation of personal bonds between members of the organization, and the use of secret rites or rituals.

Triad Society
A triad ( zh, t=三合會, s=三合会, hp=sān hé huì, cy=sāam hahp wúi) is a Chinese transnational organized crime syndicate based in Greater China with outposts in various countries having significant overseas Chinese populations. The triads originated from secret societies formed in the 18th and 19th centuries, some influenced by white lotus societies of the 14th century, with the intent of overthrowing the foreign then-ruling Qing dynasty. In the 20th century, triads were enlisted by the Kuomintang (KMT) during the Republican era to attack political enemies, including assassinations. Following the founding of the People's Republic of China and subsequent crackdowns, triads and their operations flourished in Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese communities. Since the Chinese economic reform, triads and other triad-like "black societies" re-emerged in mainland China. In modern times, triads overseas have been reported to have connections to the government of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1892 Japanese General Election
General elections were held in Japan on 15 February 1892 to elect the members of the House of Representatives of the Diet of Japan. Background After the 1890 general elections for the lower house of the Diet of Japan, the elected members proved much less amenable to government persuasion than had been anticipated by Itō Hirobumi and other members of the Meiji oligarchy. Rather than docilely rubber stamp legislation issued from the House of Peers and the genrō, the leaders of the lower house used the only leverage granted to them under the Meiji Constitution, withholding budgetary approval, to show resistance. This stalemate led to earlier-than-anticipated dissolution of the government and new elections. Emperor Meiji expressed concern that if the same people were elected again, the same problem would recur, and suggested that regional offices encourage good people to run for office. Home Minister Shinagawa Yajirō interpreted this as a condemnation of political party activi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Unequal Treaty
The unequal treaties were a series of agreements made between Asian countries—most notably Qing dynasty, Qing China, Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Japan and Joseon, Joseon Korea—and Western countries—most notably the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, United Kingdom, French Third Republic, France, German Empire, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Kingdom of Italy, Italy, the United States and Russian Empire, Russia—during the 19th and early 20th centuries. They were often signed following a military defeat suffered by the Asian party, or amid military threats made by the Western party. The terms specified obligations to be borne almost exclusively by the Asian party and included provisions such as the cession of territory, payment of reparations, opening of treaty ports, relinquishment of the right to control tariffs and imports, and granting of extraterritoriality to foreign citizens. With the rise of Chinese nationalism and anti-imperialism in the 1920s, both the Kuomint ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
